[Verse 1]
G
Some nights I just can’t take it
Cadd9
wanna burn through my small savings
Em Dmaj9 D
Stuff into a hatchback and just drive.
G
Not like I have some direction
Cadd9
Or some nebulous protection
Em Dmaj9 D
I am light years from perfection at this point
[Chorus]
Am D G G/F# Em
Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
Am D G G/F# Em
The movie still ain’t old after all this time
Am D G G/F# Em
I’m hanging on by one minuscule thread and it’s getting loose
C D
And I got not that much to lose
N.C. G C/G G C/G G C/G G
So cut the damn ties
[Verse 2]
G
Speeding down I 84 East
Cadd9
Paid a grand to break my lease
Em Dmaj9 D
To drive eight hours play some songs for a couple bucks
G
Chase elusive satisfaction
Cadd9
Getting high on fake compassion
Em Dmaj9 D
Stare at muted shades of gray til they’re beautiful
[Chorus]
Am D G G/F# Em
Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
Am D G G/F# Em
The movie still ain’t old after all this time
Am D G G/F# Em
I’m hanging on by one minuscule thread and it’s getting loose
C D
And I got not that much to lose
N.C. G C/G G C/G G C/G G
So cut the damn ties
[Bridge]
Am
Cut the ties
D
Tell a couple white lies
G G/F# Em A7
To feel the sun upon your skin of a foreign sky
Am
Cut the ties
D
For once in your life
G G/F# Em A7
It's okay to tear it down and redesign
[Chorus]
Am D G G/F# Em
Cus loneliness it suits the open road just like a hand me down coat
Am D G G/F# Em
The movie might get old but we still got time
Am D G G/F# Em
I'm hanging on by one minuscule thread and it just came loose
C D
And I got not that much to lose
Em A7
So cut the damn ties
C D G C/G G C/G G C/G G C G
I got nothing to lose so cut the damn ties
